Is this the year that illustrates Transfers =/= championships?

I get Jimbo alway reaching, but I’ll add a legitimate point here.  Sure individually some of them didn’t quite make it as far as last year but enter in people moving weights and coming back from injury or redshirts and you get some of that.  But on the team side of things the question would be was their “WAR” (in baseball terms) value enough to improve the teams chances. Did that team preform better by adding them to the lineup than if the squad went with who was slotted as the next man up instead.   I’d assume that’s a big enough yes for those teams to want to keep diving into the transfer portal to fill some of their gaps until a young recruit develops more.

Did messenbrink ever compete for another school? What was his ncaa placement there?

He was at Cal Baptist.  They gave him an offer that he accepted but then he kinda blew up after at the age group World Trials and World Championships. He choose to honor his commitment to them after.  If I have this right he competed in two open matches as a redshirt, then decided he needed to look at other options cause Cal Baptist didn’t seem to be a fit for his ambitions. He went home to finish his class work online.  Then got PSU to pick him up

Trumps already has enough conspiracy theorist and deniers lined up for this years campaign, so need keeping up the dilusion. You are fine just come back to reality
